Jordan River Boat Access Improvements

Salt Lake
City’s meandering, tree-lined section of the Jordan River is arguably the most
enjoyable section of flat water for paddlers anywhere in the Salt Lake Valley.
Incredibly, this section of the Jordan River has almost no infrastructure to
support canoeist, kayakers and rafters looking to experience this unique
amenity. The Salt Lake City Boat Access Improvement project will design and
construct two new boat access locations along the Jordan River at Fisher
Mansion (1206 West 200 South), and at the Redwood Trailhead (1850 North Redwood
Road). These improvements will be funded through a grant from the Governor’s
Office of Outdoor Recreation and a private donation from Rocky Mountain Power.
SLC Trails and Natural Lands is excited to start the design of these
improvements in the Spring of 2019 and anticipates construction to occur in
late fall of 2019 into the Spring of 2020. Once completed, this project will
establish high quality water trail access and signage that will create
enjoyable recreational opportunities within Salt Lake City.
